At Aalborg Historical Museum you can experience Aalborg’s fascinating story, starting when it was founded 1200 years ago.

Aalborg Historical Museum centers on the story of the city of Aalborg and its surroundings during the last 1000 years. The earliest findings come from a thorough excavation conducted by the museum in 2007-2008, where archeologists carefully scrutinized 4 meters of soil. Another particular attraction is Aalborgstuen (the Aalborg livingroom) from 1602 - the best preserved piece of Bourgeois Renaissance interior in the country. The exhibition even includes the 20th century, a time when Aalborg was a blossoming industrial town. Aalborg was then home to many factories, producing a broad array of items, including shoes, ice cream, brooms and TVs – all of which can be experienced at the museum.
